What is Diabetes

•••••

Diabetes is a lifelong condition where the amount of glucose in your blood is too high due to your pancreas either not producing any insulin, or not enough insulin, to help glucose enter your body’s cells – or the insulin that is produced does not work properly (known as insulin resistance).

Living with Diabetes

•••••

Diabetes doesn't have to stop you from living the life you want. With help from your care team and careful management, you can be in control of your diabetes and ensure it doesn't control you - allowing you to stay healthy, active and live life to the fullest.

Managing and Monitoring

•••••

Managing diabetes doesn’t have to be an inconvenience. Taking responsibility for your condition will enable you to take control more effectively and is an opportunity to take those healthy steps that you may have been putting off.

Free To Dream Without Lancets2

Approved for ages 4 and up*

Discreet

A painless 1 second scan even through clothing,3 so now your child can play uninterrupted at school and at home.

Easy

The FreeStyle Libre sensor is water-resistant,5 allowing children to swim, shower or exercise.

User-friendly

With every scan you get your current glucose reading, the last 8 hours of glucose date and an arrow showing the direction your glucose is heading. This full picture will help carers to manage their child’s diabetes.4

Convenient

The FreeStyle Libre system enables you and your child’s carer to get accurate glucose readings anytime, without the need to routinely finger prick your child.1 A small sensor automatically measures and continuously stores glucose readings day and night.4

Now approved for use during pregnancy

The FreeStyle Libre system is clinically proven to be accurate and safe for use during pregnancy6

Diabetes in pregnancy is common.

Approximately 7.5% of all pregnant women have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and one in seven pregnant women will develop gestational diabetes7.

Pregnant women with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes are recommended to monitor frequently to help maintain good blood glucose control throughout pregnancy and reduce the risk of adverse outcomes8.

With the Freestyle Libre System, pregnant women can check their glucose without routine finger pricks9.

Not only is the FreeStyle Libre system less stressful, less painful and easier to use compared with routine SMBG10, it simplifies diabetes management for health care professionals8.

* The FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system is indicated for measuring interstitial fluid glucose levels in people (age 4 and older) with diabetes mellitus. The indication for children (age 4 - 17) is limited to those who are supervised by a caregiver who is at least 18 years of age. A caregiver at least 18 years old is responsible for supervising, managing, and assisting the child in using the FreeStyle Libre system and interpreting its readings.

1 A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels, or if hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia is reported but the symptoms do not match the system readings.

2 Scanning the sensor to obtain glucose values does not require lancets.

3 The reader can capture data from the sensor when it is within 1cm to 4cm of the sensor.

4 For a complete glycemic picture, scan once every 8 hours.

5 Sensor is water-resistant in up to 1 meter (3 feet) of water for a maximum of 30 minutes.

9 A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the system or when symptoms do not match the system readings.
